History:
The history of natural gas meters is intrinsically linked with the expansion of urban areas and the growth of industrialization. In the late 19th century, as cities began to rely on natural gas for lighting, heating, and powering machinery, the need arose for accurate measurement of this valuable resource. Natural gas meters, as we know them today, evolved from these early innovations.

Commercial natural gas meters, in particular, became essential in ensuring fair billing for large-scale consumers like factories and commercial establishments. These meters provided precise measurements of gas consumption, allowing businesses to manage their energy costs efficiently.

Our 5-piece natural gas meter set captures the legacy of these crucial instruments. From the early days of industrialization to the present, gas meters have remained integral to urban life, reflecting the ever-evolving needs of our cities and industries. By incorporating these miniatures into your diorama, you pay homage to the history of urban development and the vital role played by natural gas in powering our modern world.
